Klipsch RP-504C Center Channel Speaker (Walnut)

This center is exactly what my setup needed after upgrading my towers to the R820fs. I originally bought the R-34-C that Klipsh recommends but ended up returning it because it was extremely underwhelming for the $399 price tag. I had been was back in fourth between the too but I just didnt want to spend $750 on the 504c but luckily for me it went on sale for Klipsh Christmas in July sale $450 altering using it I would have been happy to pay the $750

So much better

This is a perfectly good center speaker and a significant improvement over our 25 year old Qef. If one is impressed by shear mass and driver quantity then this is for you. Better have a big, strong place to put it. Soundwise, the propaganda led me to think that I would be able to hear clear dialog again. Well, not so. It is significantly improved, but we are still turning on the subtitles frequently. Despite the huge size and cost, it is maybe 30-40% better than the old single speaker Qef. Since we have the space and I already bought the monster, we decided to keep it. As an experiment, we called our two twentysomething sons in to listen. They admitted to struggling with dialog as well. One begins to think the problem with hearing the spoken words may not be our ancient ears. Maybe the sound track has been so compressed by online services that fidelity is just crap, and no speaker can fix that. So it goes, already donated my 300 DVDs.

Had Definitive Technology CS9040 I was never happy with. Bought this and couldnt be happier.

The center channel speaker is critical in providing the critical data your ear needs to hear in video media. Klipsch delivers.

Makes a world of difference, gotta have good center speakers

I didnt buy this through Amazon but wish I did because it would have cost a lot less. Nevertheless, I spent $900 and have absolutely no regrets. Never really was a Klipsch lover but fell in love with this center. Its incredibly life like, possesses clear dialogue with incredible depth. Vocals are placed perfectly and clear as a whistle, even during loud action scenes. Very well balanced with immense detail. What blows me away is its soundstage as its WIDE. WOW! I have a full in ceiling Atmos system and even though it sounded great before but this center blends so magnificently that all the height channels sound so much better and are all-encompassing where the sound is very full. Never heard a center that could be so full, blended and a compliment to your surround and height speakers. Its a dramatic upgrade!

One of the best sounding center channel speaker on the market. Rich, clear, clean, and robust sounds and tones. Excellent for watching movies. It gives you clear and concise voice dialog and subtle tones. This is a very good purchase for the money.

Im convinced that Klipsch is a discount brand disguising itself as premium. Sure they are on sale all the time - however, this center channel is so shrill! Dont bother. I sent it back. And I have expensive front speakers...wow these are just ear piercing.

Absolutely Amazing Center channel
